I was treated to "rehydated wheat rings in a sweet seasonal tomato sauce infused with syrup and fine sugars". Best Heinz spaghetti rings I've ever had..

I am wondering if I should be avoiding BA premium cabins, due to my northern working-class background. I never knew any of this stuff actually existed. I’ll stick with fish ‘n’ chips and mushy peas.

Vichyssoise is another incomprehensible one that seems to do the rounds on the F menu in all manner of dishes.

After reading all these posts I am convinced that there is a contest at BA catering to come up with menu beautification.

I suspect this is what it is, and in that respect the description is accurate!

I thought this thread referred to a new on-line review site called mouse-line!

I have just had a very nice piece of Haddock with mussels on Mousseline at brassiere blanc in cheltenham. Extremely nice buttery mashed potato , so perhaps it’s not just BA ?
